To all whom 'it may concern: v

Be it known that I, JACOB M. THOMPSON, a citizen of the U ited States, residing at Fond du Luc, in the count-y1 of Fond du Lilo and State of Niseonsim have invented e new and useful Mold for Refrigerntor-innings and other Purposes, ot which the following is a, specification..

t is the object of tl invention t provide a structure whereby linings for. refrigerators, .ind other purposes, may he con` venientl)v and economically molded.

Another object of the invention is to pre vide o molding device having av iexihle lin-- ing which may readily be removed from `the molded structure.

Another object of the invention is to pro" vide u mold und e core of novel and improved forms.

With the foregoing und other objects in vien' which -will appear es the deserigtion proceeds, the invention resioes in the combination und arrangement of parts and in the detnile or" conetruetion hereinafter deserihed ond claimed, ity being underetood that in the 'precise embodiment ot invention herein disclosed con be made `withseope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit or' the invention.

In the drawings,--l3`igure l is u. perspective of the core; Fig. 2 is u perspective of the mold; Fig. 3 is u. vert-,ical section. Showing the meid, the core and the liniinfg` nsseinhled; Fig. 4 is detail enlarged from Fig. 5 is a fragmentui perspective oi one of the ends of the core; Fig. G is u fragn'ientol horizont-il section through one corner of the core; -7 is e. frugijmentul sneetii'e of one ot the sides of the eore; and Fig. 8 is un elevation, upon n reduced seule, of the lining. l

As will he seen ij'roni :in examination or Fig. 3, the structure involves n mold d core B which fits vit-hin the mold A, and n flexible covering Whieh surrounds the Core B, and lits between the core and the mold A..

Passing firsty to a deseription et the mold A, and referring particularly to Fig. 2, the bottoni ot' the mold A is in the form ot a frame, comprising members 1 which are halved into euch other, or otherwise connected, is shown at 2. Superposed upon the bottom frame of the mold A, is e. guide trame. This guide frame consiste of members end 4, which are secured to the frame members l, the ends of the guide frame members 3 hcin'f included Jetu'een the guide frame inen'lhe, bi, es eleorlj7 seen in The extremities of the guide freine meinbers l extend across the line ot union 5 hetwecn adjacent trame ieinhers l, es denoted hv the niunerul 5. A eecurin,i device 7, ordinarilrn nail ora screw is inserted through the extended portion (3 of the member Il, and time: the member et serves to hind together, the adjacent freine members l. The nio-ld A further includes sides 8 and there sides being hinged, es shown nt 10, to the treme fo 'oued hy the members l. The sides i) nre notched, :is shown ut 1l, to receive the end edges et the Y:sides 8. l'lprighty braces l2 vlore secured to the outer faces of the sidesI 8 and 9 of the mold A. The mold is therefore so constructed thut the sides 8 and 5) may he folded flat, to lie in a common plone with the treme inen'ihers l. The sides S un( il muy he Secured in the positions shown in Fig, 2, in any chosen n'ninner. it desired, eeeuring devices .i4 muy he extended thro-ugh the exirei'uitiee of the Sides t?, to enter the ends of .ne eid-es 8.

ihe Core l is udupted to he ineerted in the mold A, the core B incloeing the guide fashioned hy' the mei l 3 und uide irume obviously serving to meinthe core l l the. mold E; in spaced rolo'ion. us eiezrljf s en in Fig. 3. hissing now to a detaiiod description ot core B. and noting` pnrtifulnrly Fig. it uf'illfhe eeen that the core con'iprises i top 1S suppfired upon sides; lo und ends l?, The top l rounded its periphei, us shown ut 'o that there W'il he n` angles i lining, y' the suine lr YWith this end in View, by the sidesl likewise rounded, u; shown ift Bv re .erring pun `iculorly to Fig', (l, it `will he seen that, ne shown :zt QG, ends lli' ore tong' tit in correspon s lo. Upright bruce, inees of the lil the binnes cated substantially midway het i.

of the sides These hreees 2l eo l rte with other nieces secured upon, er i ci;

tended zit-rose the top l5, in ulinement, Yerticolzjf, 1with the braces 2l. To the nime' side of the top l5, adjacent the ends the vand parallel with the braces are ciente cleuts overlapping 'the ende oi upright cleats @et Q5, the cleats 24e being secured to the ends of the sides 16, and the cleats 25 being secured to the ends of the portions 17 of the core B. As shown in Fig. 6, the cleat 24 Which is upon the side '16, over laps thecleat 25 rwhich is upon the side 17. In the angles defined by the cleats 24 and 25, uprightbinding bars 26 are disposed, the binding bars Q6 being connected with the cleats 24 and 25. liinding bars 27'rest upon the ends of the binding bars 2G, these binding bars 27 being located in the angles defined by the cleats 23 and the cleats, the binding bars 27 being secured to the cleats 23 and 25, and also to upright braces 28 which, as shown in Fig. 1., are secured Vto the sides 17, in their intermediate portions.

The advantages incident to the above described construction of the core B are that the cleats 24 and 25 may be secured to the inner faces of the sides 16 and the ends 17, respectively, Without having nail holes, or other puncture rnarlrs `upon the `outer face of the core B, the binding bars 26 serving to connect the sides 16 With the ends 7, as a comparison of Figs. 6 and et will render clear. lioreover, since the binding' bars 27 are secured to 'the cleats 25 and to the top 15, the top 15 may beheld upon the sides 1G and the Vends 17, Without having punc turc marks of any sort upon the outer face of the top 15. The core B therefore presents a smooth surface, all securing devices being inserted from the interior of the core B, outivardly, to engage the elements 16, 17 and 15.

After the core B has been inounted in place 1within the mold A, the covering C is slipped into place to inclose the core B closely. This ,covering C is a boXlilre structure, having at its lower edge, an outstanding flange 29, bridging the space between the outer face of the core B and the inner tace of the mold A., adjacent the bottom of the device, as Fig. 3 will render evident. This covering C is a flexible structure. lt may be fashioned from Celluloid, copper, or any other desired material. having the re- (P. quired degree of flexibility and resiliency.

lVhe'n the parts are disposed as shown in Fig. 3, the material from which the refrigerator lining is to be fashioned, is introduced between the covering C and the inner face of the mold A, this material being spread over the top of the covering C and stricken off fiat, so as to fashion the bottom of the refrigerator lining. After the refrigerator lining has set suiiiciently, the. hinged portions 8 and 9 of the mold A may be released, and dropped dat, thus exposing the outer face of the molded refrigerator lining. The refrigerator lining, together with the covering C and the core B may be removed Vfrom the mold A; or, if desired, the molded refrigerator lining and the covcring C may be lifted off the core B.

The covering C, from Whatever material it may be fashioned, is readily collapsible, and is of one piece construction. The covering C has a smooth outer surface, giving a vroper iinish to the inner surface of the re rigerator lining. By reason of the collapsibility of thecovering C, it may readily be removed from Within the interior of the refrigerator lining, causing the inner face of the refrigerator lining to be perfect and intact, Without sharp angles, scratches, or other disfiguring marks; Ait of course being understood that the covering C conforms closely to the rounded edges 18 and 19 of the core B.

Although the core B is the preferred means for sustaining and upholding the col-l iapsible covering C, it will of course be understood that any other suitable structure may be employed for maintaining the contoer of the covering.

" Having .thus described the invention, What is claimed is A device of the class described comprising a mold; a corevvithin and spaced from the mold; and a'yieldable,onepiece covering inclosing the'core and having a peripheral flanfre bridging the space between the mold and the core. i

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
